CRON

CSuite relies heavily on automated processing of reports and databases. One of the advantages of this is the ability to schedule the processing for periods of low demand such as overnight.

An example of this is the overnight rebuilding of the list of documents that have been recently changed.

Another use of the Unix/Linux CRON facility is the batch processing of passwords.


IMPLEMENTATION

Checking the cron schedules will indicate the time and frequency of automated processes.
